1. Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than them both.
4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden.
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7. The full soul loatheth an honeycomb: but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel.
10. Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
